Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 1100 - Meet

Chapter 1100: Meet

The sun was so beautiful that it was somewhat charming. The small river was gurgling, making tinkling sounds.
Ancient spiritual herbs could be seen everywhere in the forest. They were emitting multicolored rays of light, and their fragrance assailed one’s nostrils. Further away, spiritual Qi actually turned into spiritual liquid, flowing like a stream. Many bizarre spirit beasts that Ou Yangming had never seen before appeared. For instance, a Tian Miao, whose body was covered in stripes, and every breath it took could cause unusual phenomena in the universe as if an endless amount of purple Qi was coming from across the sky. There was also a horned dragon with a red flower on its head. Every time it moved, a thunderbolt would strike down from the sky…
The corners of Big Yellow’s mouth curled up slightly. He took in a breath of spiritual Qi. Every cell in his body was comfortable. It was as if he was about to ascend to immortality. He remarked softly, “As expected of the heart of origins. There are so many peculiar and rare beasts here. Besides, the spiritual Qi here is much denser than the outside world.” Indeed, that was true. Even the Phoenixes’ ancestral land did not have spiritual Qi as dense as in the heart of origins.
Lil’ Red jumped on Big Yellow’s shoulder as a response.
“The heart of origins is the core of the Great Wide World, and it’s located in a unique spot. It’s difficult for ordinary people to imagine the profoundness of this place,” Ou Yangming noted. His golden mental power swept out in all directions like a tide.
It was then when countless dried corpses appeared in his spiritual world.
These corpses were very odd. There was not a single drop of blood on their bodies, and they gave old and decaying auras. Nonetheless, while they seemed to have died for many years, their faces were suffused with traces of lively vitality. In particular, their pupils were filled with terror as if they had seen the most terrifying thing and were scared witless.
Such an unusual scene was simply unimaginable.
“Hurry up and leave…” Ou Yangming’s expression changed as he rushed toward the village without any delay.
He had a faint premonition that those dead people had something to do with him.
Not long after, a primitive tribe appeared in front of him.
A crow hovered in the sky, letting out fearsome cries that sounded desolate and cold.
The north winds whimpered and whistled over.
It was as if even Heavens and Earth sensed something as well. The sky changed drastically, grey clouds hung low, and black clouds surged. Layers upon layers of clouds pressed down. Following that, bean-sized raindrops fell without any sign as if they wanted to wash this filthy world clean.
All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning tore the sky into pieces. With this flash of light, one could clearly see that in the small courtyard, on the roof… Everywhere was filled with corpses. They looked like rice seedlings that were planted, and their faces were distorted. Other than fear, there was also a hint of deep hatred in their eyes.
Even an infant in swaddling clothes was not spared and was hung on a mast. The infant moved with the wind, and all spiritual essence was sucked clean from it. There was only pain and confusion in the infant’s eyes.
Of course, the most eye-catching corpse was an old man in a beast robe. He faced the west and did not fall even though he was dead.
“How despicable! Even such a small baby wasn’t spared.” Big Yellow withdrew his gaze from the baby and gritted his teeth, his killing intent surging like the sea. With a wave of his claws, spiritual power surged, and a mountain 3 kilometers away collapsed inch by inch. The big yellow dog’s strength at the moment was infinitely close to that of a Ruler, and he also possessed the power to change the world.
Lil’ Red stood on Big Yellow’s shoulder. With a flap of his wings, 2 balls of golden flames burned fiercely in his eyes. The air within 33 meters from him was distorted. One could imagine how much hatred he had in his heart. Although Feng Lin was mischievous, he was kind-hearted. It was inevitable that he would be moved by such a scene.
Ou Yangming pondered for a moment, and his fingers gently stroked his chin.
He responded, “Uprooting is the law of survival in the Great Wide World. It’s just that this person has gone too far.” Even when the Blood Horned Dragons ate the villagers of the Big Ruins, the scene of broken walls and blood staining a range of 5 kilometers was not as tragic as the one in front of him.
At this moment, a familiar feeling appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind.
“What’s going on?” He muttered.
He quickly stepped forward and walked to the side of the old man in a beast robe. Just as he stretched out his fingers, fine cracks appeared on the old man’s body. They spread out with a bang and looked like porcelain that had been crushed by a huge force. Many grey lights were knocked down by a storm.
Ou Yangming pointed with his finger and sensed it carefully for a moment. His expression was calm as he said, “Feng Xinxiao’s aura? How… How did it become so much stronger?” It had even reached a point that even he was shocked.
When he was still a Venerable One, he could already crush Feng Xinxiao.
It had not been long, the man had somehow grown to such a stage. This was truly like a legend.
“Hiss, hiss…”
Lil’ Red’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he shook his head forcefully. “Lil’ Ming, are you mistaken? He should be in the Phoenixes’ ancestral land. How could he appear in the heart of origins? In my impression, his strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Ruler. On the other hand, this power here makes me feel as if I’ve seen hell and am about to be stripped of my soul. Besides, judging from this scene, there wasn’t a fierce battle here. Instead, the person’s power was crushing. This is certainly not a power that Feng Xinxiao could control.” His body trembled as he spoke. This was the first time he had refuted Ou Yangming on a serious matter.
“I’m absolutely not mistaken,” Ou Yangming said coldly, enunciating each word.
He explained, “I’ve fought with Feng Xinxiao several times, so I’m very familiar with his aura.”
“I believe in Lil’ Ming…” Big Yellow walked out and supported Ou Yangming.
Lil’ Red did not speak anymore and agreed with Ou Yangming’s words.
Thunder rumbled non-stop, and a heavy rain pressed down on the mountains and rivers like a curtain.
Ou Yangming focused. His heart was guarding his spiritual altar, and his vigilance had reached its limit. He released his spiritual power that had condensed into a physical form, and he was cautious. The young fellow took a deep look at the miserable situation in front of him, and forcefully suppressed the strong killing intent in his heart. He then uttered softly, “Rest in peace!” With that, he rolled up his long sleeve, and a white flame appeared out of thin air. Spiritual Qi, the small houses, the fragments of the formation, the rain, and even the space burned. After 100 breaths, everything was burned clean.
The young fellow and the 2 beasts set off once again. At this time, they still did not know that they were about to be involved in a huge conspiracy.
Woosh, woosh, woosh…
The sounds of air being torn were continuously heard. Numerous figures shuttled through the forest. These people were much taller than ordinary people. Their shoulders were wide, and their faces were rough. 2 faint star marks could be seen between their eyebrows.
“Clan Master has ordered us to find Ou Yangming no matter what. Let’s split up!” The person who spoke was about 20 meters tall and with every word he said, the sky shook, stirring up gusts of wind.
“Yes!” Several members of the Shaman Tribe nodded heavily.
They knew that this was foolish and was no different from finding a needle in a haystack, but they did not have any other effective methods. Moreover, this was an order from the clan master. In the Shaman Tribe, what the clan master said was a decree, and they had to carry it out no matter what.
As soon as their voices faded away, the dozen or so people darted out in all directions.
By the time the forest regained its calm once again, spiritual Qi suddenly shook.
Immediately after, a young fellow and 2 beasts appeared in the air. They were Ou Yangming, Big Yellow, and Lil’ Red. After practicing for a while, the young fellow’s understanding of the law of Yin and Yang had become deeper. It became even easier for him to hide.
Big Yellow let out a light breath and said with a smile, “Lil’ Ming, this law is really odd.” He had hidden under the law of Yin and Yang many times, but he still found it unbelievable.
“It’s just an application of space. Once you reach this level, you’ll understand. It’s useless for me to explain now,” Ou Yangming replied with a smile.
Big Yellow scratched the back of his head and smiled.
Lil’ Red did not want to be left behind and interrupted, “But it’s really strange. This is already the sixth bunch of people we’ve met, and they’re all looking for Lil’ Ming.” As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Ou Yangming with a look of surprise in his eyes.
“It’s not the sixth, but the seventh,” Big Yellow noted.
“You…” Lil’ Red’s mouth kept sucking in air. His body became round, and the feathers on his wings stood up straight.
Big Yellow was shocked. His body flashed, and he quickly hid behind Ou Yangming. He scratched the young fellow’s back gently and kept winking at him, asking him to help out.
Ou Yangming looked at the big yellow dog as though he was saying that he deserved it, but he still stopped Lil’ Red. He smiled and comforted her, “Why don’t you forget about it this time?”
Lil’ Red snorted heavily and looked at Big Yellow arrogantly.
Ou Yangming ignored the 2 spirit beasts and started to think. He wondered, ‘These humans are tall and majestic, and there are 1 or 2 dim star marks between their eyebrows. I wonder if they have any connection with the Ancient Shamans.’ Of course, the most important thing was that he did not sense any killing intent from those figures. Once he comprehended the law of Yin and Yang, he could tell if one was his friend or enemy with just a glance.
This was the law, and it possessed an unfathomable power.
As they got closer to the Shaman Tribe, such that they were only 500 kilometers away, they only ran into more people from the tribe.
At the spur of the moment, a gust of cold wind blew over, and it seemed to be able to blow away all the fatigue on one’s body. Once the cold wind blew past, the spiritual power in the air was compressed by a condensed power and turned into a ball of white light. A pair of old and withered hands stretched out from the light spots and tore at both sides. A kind-looking old man dressed in luxurious clothes walked out from the light spot.
He introduced himself softly, “I’m Du Xie, the clan master of the Shaman Tribe. It is fate that I can meet you.”
Ou Yangming’s face was full of smiles. In any case, he had entered the states of the connection between Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous. As long as there was something strange, he would attack without any hesitation. This old man gave him too much pressure and was like a deep starry sky that could not be seen. There was only a slight difference between the old man and Feng Mu and Feng Tian.
“I’m Ou Yangming. Greetings, senior.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and bowed.
Big Yellow and Lil’ Red also bowed and looked at the old man curiously.
Du Xie rolled up his long sleeves and said in a low voice, “Lil’ friend, there’s no need to be so polite. Since we can meet, it’s fate.”
Ou Yangming’s smile did not change, but he also did not say anything. He just stared at the old man quietly.
Du Xie felt uncomfortable under Ou Yangming’s gaze. He took the initiative to say, “I know that you’re very confused now and have a lot of questions to ask. When you arrive at my tribe, I’ll surely tell you everything I know.” As he said that, he bowed with a sincere attitude.
Ou Yangming quickly turned and jumped away. He smiled and replied, “Senior, you’re being too serious.”
With that, the young fellow and the 2 beasts walked further away under the setting sun. Their shadows became longer.
